If you choose to transfer your application to another available property, you may be placed on a waiting list if there is another application in process ahead of you. Should you request that your application be applicable for an additional property, your application fee will not be refunded if we are unable to approve your application for any reason.

Income qualifications are based on the household's gross income. A credit history check is required for all applicants; however, if an adult-dependent has no credit history, this may still be taken into consideration as part of the overall evaluation.

Tiner Properties will consider applicants who participate in the housing voucher program. Applicants must meet all screening criteria. Applicants with housing voucher who choose to provide lawful, verifiable proof of income in lieu of relying on credit history must notify our leasing department by emailing rentals@tiner.com before submitting their application.  The applicant’s income will be based only on the tenant's portion of the rent. Be prepared to provide a copy of your housing voucher with your application submission.
